    More Like Jesus, Less Like Me

    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Jul 14, 2025
     | 434 views

    A challenge to let go of the "me-first" mindset and learn to embrace humility, compassion, and servanthood—basically this sermon compels us to look at the hallmarks of the life Jesus led... and to follow His example

    Philippians 2:3-5 “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of others. In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus.” Imagine a world ...read more

    Thirty-First Sunday In Ordinary Time, B: Shema

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Oct 16, 2024
     | 649 views

    Prostrating oneself in prayer helps me to mean all the words of this creed, with all its intensity and wide scope.

    This is the most Jewish and Catholic prayer possible, in our Gospel today, from Mark 12:29, which Jews call the Shema, which means “hear” in Hebrew-- we have the first line of the Shema in our Gospel today: “Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is Lord alone! You shall love the Lord your God with all ...read more

     | 4,660 views

    the faith of the first 12 disciples was weak; how about ours today when Jesus is mocked in our midst?

    We remember of course today Jesus Christ, God who became human to pay for the penalty of our sins by taking them to death on a cross. Before reading the story in Mark 15, let us highlight God’s prophecies about the suffering Messiah. Since the Messiah had to suffer and die for man’s sins, we ...read more

    First Sunday Of Lent, Year A- The Tactics Of Temptation

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jan 21, 2023
     | 1,470 views

    C.S. Lewis made an astute observation in his masterful Screwtape Letters: the devil cannot manufacture real goods or pleasures; he’s stuck with the ones God has made and for which our natures have an inclination.

    I saw this Cartoon of Satan tempting Jesus, saying: “If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become a medium rare ribeye steak with truffle butter.” [Jesus is thinking to himself, “He’s getting better at this.”] Note that Jesus did not say, “Man cannot live by coffee alone, but he will ...read more

    The first Passover points the way to a greater second Passover.

    The First Passover: An Exposition of Exodus 12:1-14 The Passover is a special day for the Jewish people. Even secular Jews celebrate it. It serves a purpose similar to Independence Day in the US or Cinco de Mayo in Latin and South America. The Children of Israel had served as slaves in Egypt for a ...read more

    We are no longer, if we live as Christians, able to do wrong and hurt others and then plead “but I’m only human.”

    Eighteenth Sunday in Course 2024 While looking over my old homilies in preparation for today, I noted that these same readings, as they will do, came up back in 2018.

    Wise men sought Jesus. Wise men, women and children seek and worship Jesus today. Charles Spurgeon said, "Wisdom is the right use of knowledge." This short talk encourages godly wisdom - putting knowledge of Jesus into action.

    THE KING UPON THE CROSS. Luke 23:33-43. 1.
